Flower senescence of the potted gentian (Gentiana scabra) ‘Shinbisei’ was investigated in relation to ethylene sensitivity and production. ‘Shinbisei’ flowers were used for all experiments except for those with inflorescences. Exposure to ethylene at 0.5 μL L−1 or higher concentrations for 24 h markedly accelerated flower senescence, indicating that G. scabra flowers are highly sensitive to ethylene. Treatment with 0.2 or 0.5 mM silver thiosulfate complex (STS) and 2 μL L−1 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), ethylene action inhibitors, and 50 mM α-aminoisobutyric acid, an inhibitor of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase, did not delay flower senescence. However, treatment with 1 mM l-α-(2-aminoethoxyvinyl) glycine, an inhibitor of ACC synthase, slightly delayed flower senescence. Pollination significantly accelerated petal senescence of G. scabra flowers. Ethylene production of petals, gynoecium, and stamens in unpollinated flowers slightly increased during senescence. Pollination significantly increased ethylene production of petals, gynoecium and stamens 1 day after pollination. To clarify whether 1-MCP delays senescence of cut gentian inflorescences, cut G. scabra ‘Yuki-hotaru’, G. scabra × Gentiana triflora ‘Aoi-kaze’, and G. triflora ‘Koharu’ inflorescences with various stages of flowers, including buds with colored petals, were treated with 2 μL L−1 1-MCP for 24 h. 1-MCP treatment delayed flower wilting of cut inflorescences of ‘Aoi-kaze’ and ‘Yuki-hotaru’ more than that of ‘Koharu’, suggesting that there is species variation in the effect of 1-MCP in delaying flower senescence of cut gentian inflorescences.  相似文献

Botrytis cinerea is one of the pathogens resulting in the heaviest commercial losses in ornamental cut flowers, and the severity of grey mould disease partly depends on the presence of ethylene in the storage environment. The efficacy of a β-cyclodextrin-based nanosponge 1:8 (CD-NS) - 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) complex was evaluated as a novel control agent in protecting carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L. ‘Idra di Muraglia’) cut flowers against B. cinerea infection. Two concentrations of this non-volatile 1-MCP formulation (CD-NS complex, 0.25 and 0.5 μL L−1, a.i.) were compared with commercial gaseous 1-MCP (0.25 μL L−1, a.i.), and an inoculated control. A non-inoculated control was also used to assess the natural infection level. Eleven days after inoculation, the development of grey mould on carnation was significantly reduced (59.9% of flower surface) in cut stems treated with the CD-NS complex at low dosage, compared to the high dosage of the CD-NS complex (91.5%), the commercial gaseous 1-MCP formulation (76.2%) and the inoculated control (100.0%). Endogenous ethylene production was associated with symptom development. Results showed a reduced ethylene production in 1-MCP treated flowers (0.25 μL L−1, a.i., both suspended and gaseous formulation). The CD-NS complex could therefore be an effective alternative to conventional chemicals to protect ornamental cut flowers.  相似文献

Flowers of Dendrobium cv. Kenny were hand-pollinated using pollinia from cv. Sakura. This resulted in a large increase in flower ethylene emission and rapid perianth (tepal) senescence. The increase in flower ethylene emission was correlated in time with an increase in ethylene emitted by the column (the fused stigma, style and stamens) plus the ovary. No ethylene emission was observed from perianth parts that were isolated at various periods after pollination. The increased ethylene emission by the column plus ovary was correlated with an increase in ACC synthase and ACC oxidase activity in these flower parts. The perianth parts, in contrast, only showed an increase in ACC oxidase activity, following pollination. The data show that pollination-induced early perianth senescence in Dendrobium is mediated by increased ethylene biosynthesis by the column + ovary, and not due to increased ethylene biosynthesis in the perianth parts. Apparently, ethylene synthesized in the gynoecium diffuses to the perianth parts where it induces senescence. The data are very similar to those found previously in pollinated Phaleanopsis orchids and in emasculated Cymbidium orchids, with the exception that ethylene was emitted from the tepals of these two orchids and not from Dendrobium.  相似文献

Delphinium flowers are sensitive to ethylene, and exposure to ethylene is known to accelerate sepal abscission. The relationship of ethylene to sepal abscission in cut Delphinium flowers was investigated. The gynoecium and receptacle each contributed to climacteric-like increases in ethylene production whereas the sepals, petals and stamens did not. 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) concentration, ACC synthase and ACC oxidase activities in the gynoecium and receptacle increased in the senescing flowers. Wounding of the gynoecium or receptacle accelerated abscission of sepals, which was accompanied by a marked increase in ethylene production. Accelerated sepal abscission was counteracted by treatment with silver thiosulphate complex (STS), an inhibitor of ethylene action. The results of this study show that ethylene produced by the gynoecium and receptacle is closely associated with sepal abscission in cut Delphinium flowers.  相似文献

Morphological characterisation and agronomic evaluation was conducted on 12 transgenic broccolilines containing a tomato antisense1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) oxidase gene. Plants of three cultivars: Shogun (Sh), Green Beauty (Gy) and Dominator (D), were regenerated from hairy root cultures after co-cultivation with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4T harbouring the binary vector pLN35. The T-DNA of pLN35 contains genes encoding a tomato antisense ACC oxidase gene (35S-ACC-5′7′) and a neomycin phosphotransferase II gene (NOS-NPTII-NOS) for kanamycin resistance. The transgenic plants were transferred to a greenhouse and fertile plants obtained. Integration of the foreign DNA into the broccoli genome was confirmed by the polymerase chain reaction and Southern analyses. Transgenic plants showed evidence of hairy root (HR)-induced morphological changes to varying degrees. Of the 12 characterised transgenic lines, three lines(Gy/7, D/1 and D/2) performed within the limits of acceptability for all head quality parameters analysed (size, density, colour, shape and leafiness). The ethylene production from stalks of four field-grown transgenic lines of Green Beauty broccoli showed significant reductions in activity relative to the control 98 h after harvest. The Dominator transgenic lines D/1 and D/2 showed significant improvements in head colour relative to the control from 48 h after harvest. These results are consistent with the ethylene production patterns determined previously for these lines. The head colour results are consistent with previous results suggesting that two enzyme systems may be involved in broccoli senescence, giving two bursts of ethylene production, with only the second burst inhibited by the antisense ACC oxidase gene used. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Fruit of cv. Gros Michel banana were treated with 1-MCP (1000 nL L−1 for 4 h at 25 °C) and then packed in non-perforated polyethylene (PE) bags for modified atmosphere storage (MAP). The bags were placed in corrugated cardboard boxes and stored at 14 °C. Fruit were removed from cool storage and ripened at room temperature using ethephon. The length of storage life was determined by the change in peel color to yellow, after this ethephon treatment. Fruit treated with 1-MCP + MAP had a storage life of 100 days. The storage life of control fruit (no 1-MCP and no MAP) was 20 days. Fruit held in PE bags without 1-MCP treatment had a 40 day storage life, and the same was found in fruit treated with 1-MCP but without PE bags. 1-MCP is an inhibitor of ethylene action, but also inhibited ethylene production, mainly through inhibition of ACC oxidase activity in the peel. MAP inhibited ethylene production mainly through inhibition of ACC oxidase, both in the peel and pulp. The combination of 1-MCP treatment and MAP storage resulted in much lower ethylene production due to inhibition of both ACC synthase and ACC oxidase activity.  相似文献

1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase and oxidase activities, their gene expression, and ethylene production in apple fruit [Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill. Var. domestica (Borkh.) Mansf.] treated with a synthetic auxin 2,4-dichlorophenoxy-propionic acid (2,4-DP) and n-propyl dihydrojasmonate (PDJ), a jasmonic acid derivative, has been investigated to clarify the action of auxin and jasmonates on ethylene production. The fruit was harvested at 103 d after full bloom (preclimacteric). The expression of MdACS4 messenger RNA (mRNA) at 48 and 96 h after treatment was higher in fruit treated with 2,4-DP than in the untreated control, but those of MdACS1 and MdACO1 were not affected by treatment. The ethylene production in 2,4-DP-treated fruit increased at 96 h after treatment. In contrast, expression of mRNAs hybridized with MdACS1 and MdACO1 probes in the skin of PDJ-treated fruit were higher than those in the untreated control. In addition, ACC synthase activity and ethylene production also increased after treatment. These results show that the ethylene production rate may differ with the kind of genes which were stimulated by auxin or jasmonates.  相似文献

Apricots are climacteric fruits with a high susceptibility to flesh softening and loss of flavor during postharvest storage, and most of the ripening processes are regulated by ethylene, which also has an effect on its own biosynthesis. To understand this process in apricot, inhibition of ethylene biosynthesis and perception was performed for studying key genes involved in the ethylene biosynthetic pathway. Apricots, cv. “Patterson”, were harvested with yellow-green ground color and immediately treated with either the ethylene perception inhibitor 1-methyl cyclopropene (1-MCP) at 10 μL L−1 or the ethylene biosynthesis inhibitor aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) at 1 g L−1. After treatment, quality and physiological attributes such as firmness, color, total soluble solids, acidity, fruit weight, ethylene production and respiration rates were evaluated every 2 d until they ripened at 20 °C. Gene expression analysis was performed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Both ethylene inhibitors were effective in reducing ethylene production, respiration rate and fruit softening. Three 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic-acid synthase (ACS) genes were characterized, but only the expression of ACS2 was highly reduced by ethylene inhibition, suggesting a key role in ethylene synthesis at ripening. Contrarily, ACS1 and ACS3 showed a higher expression under ethylene inhibition suggesting that the corresponding genes are individually regulated in a specific mode as observed in other climacteric fruits. Finally, changes in 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic-acid oxidase genes did not show a consistent pattern of ethylene modulation.  相似文献

乙烯对玉米生长发育与形态建成具有重要调控作用,但乙烯对玉米氮素吸收与积累调控效应缺乏深入研究,局限了乙烯在玉米丰产高效栽培中的应用。本研究以郑单958、瑞福尔1号和德美亚3号3个玉米品种为试验材料,比较研究不同基因型玉米植株对氮素供给的响应差异,结合外源添加乙烯合成前体1-氨基环丙烷-1-羧酸(1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylicacid,ACC),分析乙烯对不同基因型玉米氮素吸收的调控效应。研究结果表明,在低氮条件下,氮素敏感型品种(德美亚3号和瑞福尔1号)比郑单958叶片缺氮表型明显,对ACC处理敏感,而且ACC处理抑制玉米植株地上和地下部的生长和干物质积累;ACC处理抑制了低氮下叶片叶绿素合成,降低叶片可溶性蛋白积累,促进玉米叶片早衰,其中ACC处理郑单958叶片叶绿素和可溶性蛋白含量均显著高于德美亚3号和瑞福尔1号;进一步研究发现,低氮处理抑制乙烯合成关键酶基因ZmACS7和ZmACO15的表达,降低乙烯含量,ACC处理促进低氮条件下ZmACS7和ZmACO15基因的表达,提高乙烯含量;低氮处理抑制玉米根系中ZmNRT2.1表达,但ACC处理促进低氮下玉米根系中ZmNRT2.1表达,其中郑单958根中ZmNRT2.1表达在低氮条件下显著高于德美亚3号和瑞福尔1号。研究结果表明乙烯通过调控玉米植株乙烯合成关键酶基因和ZmNRT2.1表达,调节了氮素吸收与分配,影响了植株生长,其中氮素敏感性品种比持绿型品种对乙烯更为敏感。  相似文献

The aim of this work was to study the specific effects of low temperature and 1-MCP treatment on ethylene metabolism and oxidative behaviour in plums (Prunus × salicina cv. Larry Ann). Control fruit were stored at 20 °C or 0 °C and the 1-MCP (625 nL L?1) treated fruit at 0 °C. Changes in the kinetics of ethylene production upon removal were related to changes in ACC metabolism (ACC and MACC levels), oxidative behaviour (H2O2 content) and enzymatic antioxidant potential (SOD, CAT and POX enzymes) during cold storage. Low temperature stress inhibited the synthesis of MACC, which appeared to be the basic process that regulated ACC and ethylene production at ambient temperature. Although 1-MCP treatment inhibited ethylene production and ACC accumulation in the cold, it did not inhibit the accumulation of MACC. Neither cold nor 1-MCP treatment induced oxidative stress. Nevertheless, the 1-MCP treatment significantly impaired the increase in POX activity observed during cold storage. Collectively these results showed the underlying role that ACC metabolism plays in the ripening behaviour of cold-stored plums, confirming previous results. The results also indicate that MACC and malonyl transferase activity are the key regulatory factors that control ripening and possibly some ethylene-related disorders such as chilling injury in cold-stored plums.  相似文献

应用电子克隆和RT-PCR方法,从小麦叶片中分离出一个条锈菌诱导的编码MBF1基因的cDNA序列,暂被命名为TaMBF1a。TaMBF1a包含一个完整的429 bp的开放阅读框,编码142个氨基酸,具有MBF1保守结构域;小麦TaMBF1a氨基酸序列与水稻OsMBF1相似性达92%,与拟南芥AtMBF1a相似性达80%。TaMBF1a编码的蛋白可能是核蛋白,且该基因在小麦根、茎、叶组织中表达量基本一致。在小麦与条锈菌的亲和、非亲和互作中,TaMBF1a基因均受条锈菌诱导高水平表达,且非亲和组合表达量高于亲和组合。外源植物激素水杨酸、乙烯、脱落酸也可诱导该基因快速上调表达,表明TaMBF1a可能通过水杨酸、乙烯等信号途径参与小麦对条锈菌的防御反应。  相似文献

The mode of action of nitric oxide (NO) in inhibiting ethylene biosynthesis and fruit softening during ripening and cool storage of mango fruit was investigated. Hard mature green mango (Mangifera indica L. cv. ‘Kensington Pride’) fruit were fumigated with 20 μL L−1 NO for 2 h at 21 °C and allowed to ripen at 21 ± 1 °C for 10 d, or stored at 13 ± 1 °C for 21 d. During ripening and cool storage, ethylene production and respiration rate from whole fruit were determined daily. The 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) content, activities of ACC synthase (ACS), ACC oxidase (ACO), and fruit softening enzymes such as pectin esterase (PE), endo-1,4-β-d-glucanase (EGase), exo- and endo-polygalacturonase (exo-PG, endo-PG) as well as firmness and rheological properties of pulp were determined at two- and seven-day intervals during ripening and cool storage, respectively. NO fumigation inhibited ethylene biosynthesis and respiration rate, and maintained higher pulp firmness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, adhesiveness, and stiffness. NO-fumigated fruit during cool storage and ripening had lower ACC contents through inhibiting the activities of both ACS and ACO in the fruit pulp. NO-fumigated fruit showed decreased activities of exo-PG, endo-PG, EGase, but maintained higher PE activity in pulp tissues during ripening and cool storage. In conclusion, NO fumigation inhibited ethylene biosynthesis through inhibition of ACS and ACO activities leading to reduced ACC content in the fruit pulp which consequently, reduced the activities of fruit softening enzymes during ripening and cool storage.  相似文献

Controlling the rate of fruit softening in melting-flesh peaches is a primary goal of the fruit industry. Stony hard (SH) peach varieties lack the ability to synthesize 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), the precursor of ethylene, which is required for fruit maturation. SH peaches thus have crisp flesh that remains firm during ripening. In this study, we developed a simple technique to stimulate fruit softening by a single spray application of ACC at a concentration of 10–20 mM, which was sufficient to allow ethylene synthesis and fruit softening. Higher concentrations of ACC increased ethylene production, and made the fruit softer. Ethylene synthesis was limited to the first 2–3 d after ACC treatment, after which fruit ceased softening and retained its remaining firmness. These results indicate that a single application of ACC solution can be used to regulate the process of fruit softening in SH peaches.  相似文献

Ethylene is a gaseous hormone that coordinates several important physiological processes resulting in the final fruit quality in apple. Due to its genetic heterozygousity, apple offers the possibility to exploit the natural allelic variation existing at the level of two genes involved in the ethylene biosynthetic pathway, Md-ACS1 and Md-ACO1. The allelism of these two genes can be exploited for the advanced selection of genotypes characterized by low ethylene production, with a consequent extended postharvest storability. The impact of these two elements in ethylene control was verified using two specific apple populations (‘GDxBr’ and ‘FjxMG’) presenting distinct allelotype configurations. In the first progeny, two QTLs were identified in genetic positions corresponding with these genes, and for the first time the association of a QTL for ethylene production with Md-ACO1 in apple was established. However, the analysis carried out on the second population, homozygous for the allele of Md-ACS1 associated with a low ethylene production, suggested the possible involvement of other genetic elements in the regulation of ethylene production. In the end we also present, in parallel to the GC assessment, a novel methodology based on proton transfer reaction-time of flight-mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) for a more reliable, fast and efficient monitoring of the ethylene production in apple.  相似文献

To investigate the effects of postharvest application of 1-MCP on ethylene production and fruit softening, activities of ethylene biosynthesis and fruit softening enzymes were measured during postharvest ripening of plum (Prunus salicina Lindl. cv. Tegan Blue) fruit after being exposed to 1-MCP (0, 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 μL L−1) at 20 ± 1 °C for 24 h. Following the treatments, fruit were allowed to ripen at ambient temperature (20 ± 1 °C), and ethylene production in fruit, activities of ACS and ACO, ACC content and fruit softening enzymes (PE, EGase, exo-PG and endo-PG) in fruit skin and pulp were recorded at different intervals. Postharvest application of 1-MCP significantly delayed and suppressed the climacteric ethylene production with reduction in the activities of ethylene biosynthesis enzymes (ACS, ACO) and ACC content, and fruit softening enzymes (PE, EGase, exo-PG and endo-PG) in the skin as well as in pulp tissues. The reduction was more pronounced with increased concentrations of 1-MCP. 1-MCP treated fruit showed different rates of fruit softening and activities of ethylene biosynthesis enzymes in the skin and pulp tissues which warrant further investigation on regulation of gene expression related to these enzymes with the inhibitory effect of 1-MCP.  相似文献

The role of abscisic acid (ABA) in triggering ethylene biosynthesis and ripening of mango fruit was investigated by applying ABA [S-(+)-cis,trans-abscisic acid] and an inhibitor of its biosynthesis [nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA)]. Application of 1 mM ABA accelerated ethylene biosynthesis through promoting the activities of ethylene biosynthesis enzymes (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase, ACS; 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase, ACO) and accumulation of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), enhanced fruit softening and activity of endo-polygalacturonase and reduced pectin esterase activity in the pulp. The activities of ethylene biosynthesis and softening enzymes were significantly delayed and/or suppressed in the pulp of NDGA-treated fruit. The ABA-treated fruit had higher total sugars and sucrose as well as degradation of total organic acids, and citric and fumaric acids compared with NDGA treatment. These results suggest that ABA is involved in regulating mango fruit ripening and its effects are, at least in part, mediated by changes in ethylene production.  相似文献
